The ends of the springs areinserted in eyes provided on the plates a in such manner as to be easilyremovable, so that the number of plates and-sprin s forming the girdlecan be varied as may e required.

The end plates at are flexibly connected The separate lates a are socon-" with the parts of a buckle e by means or which the girdle may besecured.
